King Constantine II & Military Junta (1966–1973)

Circulation issues spanning the brief reign of King Constantine II and the subsequent regime of the Military Junta ("Black Colonels"). Coins from this turbulent era transition from the portrait of the young King to the Junta's propaganda symbol—the Phoenix rising from flames next to a soldier's silhouette.

Third Hellenic Republic — Early Series (1976–1988)

The first comprehensive coin series of the democratic Third Hellenic Republic following the abolition of the monarchy. The state title changes to "ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗ ΔΗΜΟΚΡΑΤΙΑ" (Hellenic Republic) and coins feature historical Greek personalities, ancient art motifs, and the prominent use of pure nickel for mid-tier denominations.

Third Hellenic Republic — Late Series (1990–1998)

The final series of the Greek drachma prior to the Euro transition. Due to inflation, smaller lepta and low drachma coins were discontinued, while high-value denominations like 50 and 100 Drachmai were introduced in heavy aluminum-bronze alloys, featuring prominent designs of Alexander the Great and ancient philosophers.
